Louisville, Kentucky

There are multiple cool sports experiences around the city, including Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby (come on 11!), the Muhammed Ali Museum, and the Louisville Slugger factory. Also, the Cincinnati Reds triple-a affiliate is based in Louisville, the Louisville Bats. If there's anything I can get behind, it's an entire factory of baseball bats.

Atlanta, Georgia

Many wouldn't expect Atlanta to be as large of a sports capital that it is, but the city is a sports heaven. The Centennial Olympic Park is a reminder of the 1996 summer Olympics and is a vast park in the middle of the city. Atlanta also hosts the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl every January, inside the famed Georgia Dome, which is also the home of the Atlanta Falcons. The College Football Hall of Fame is located in downtown and is three stories of football heaven.

New York

This one is very well known, but the city is the biggest sports market in the world. Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, is one of the nicest ballparks in the league (big fan of Mr. Met). There's also Madison Square Garden, which is one of the most significant sporting locations in the world. Yankee Stadium and MetLife Stadium also provide a solid atmosphere for vital teams to their respective leagues. The MLB is also headquartered in New York. The US Open (tennis) and the Belmont Stakes also take place in New York.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

You won't want to forget your passport for this one. The NHL is headquartered in Toronto, which is also the home to the most successful original six franchise in the NHL, the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Hockey Hall of Fame is also located in the city and is a must for all hockey fans. The Toronto Blue Jays and Raptors also create a fun atmosphere for any sports fan.

Boston, Massachusetts

As much as I don't like the Boston Bruins, the city is well-known for being a sports paradise. The New England Patriots are just a short distance away, and Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is a baseball fans' dream. The Bruins and Celtics also split use of TD Garden Arena, and are always successful and make deep runs into the playoffs.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
